Again, nothing wrong with that on the part of O&G workers, but they have to understand that their intentions and career plans are crystal clear to hiring managers at lesser businesses and they have to do what's best for their business.
Candidate A: worked in retail/fast food for ten years, knows the routines, knows the pace expected, is comfortable with the atmosphere, has a life set up that is based around $12-$15hr, will stay for a long time if the job suits him/her.
Candidate B: has worked for $65-$85k for the last ten years, isn't used to the demanding, stand up pace of fast food, feels embarrassed at surving burgers, needs to get something higher paying asap to keep up with a higher earning lifestyle.
You take candidate A, it's a business decision, not personal.

I couldnt have said it better
Staff turn over is costly to a business and we shouldn't fault them for making decisions that would minimize the number turn over, regardless of whether the majority of their customer base is O&G or not
